Canada Mail Continues to Cause Problems6/26/2011 5:31:37 AMThough I received the two author copies of my newest spiritual book before Canada Post went on strike, I have not been as lucky with the copies I ordered for distribution.

Canada Post workers have been off the job for two weeks, now, and normally it wouldn't make that much difference to me as I don't receive or send much in the mail anymore.

But my publisher, Wipf and Stock, sends its parcels by US postal service and so I wait with a little less patience than a Christian probably should show.

I know that I will still have to wait a little while yet. Though the Canadian Federal Government has legislated the postal workers back to work, I'm not sure how long that will be; and even when they do return to work, it will be some time before the back log is cleared.

I have an event scheduled for July 21st for which I would like to have my books in hopes of selling a few.

I ask God for patience and, as I well know, one should be careful for what one asks. For in order to be patient, one has to have opportunities to practise this special virtue. The postal strike is certainly providing me with one such opportunity and I must say, I don't like it one bit!
